U.S. military officials required to sign NDAs tied to Latin America mission: Reuters Lawmakers in Congress say they are being kept in the dark about key aspects of a military buildup that Venezuela fears may lead to an invasion.

NDAs can’t be used to cover up illegal activities. If the person asking you to sign one is doing something illegal, you can break it & sue.

Lawyers & government folks chime in here, but hey are usually only used in business deals. Also, this shows just how horrible, incompetent, and evil they are.

The ‘Transactional’ Trap America’s partners shouldn’t think they can deal their way out of Trumpian chaos.

"The EU, the UK, and Japan accepted humiliating, one-sided trade deals, tearing up longstanding principles of international trade, on largely non-economic grounds." Our allies should not do that sort of thing: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-transa...

German news outlet DW reports step by step how Cheeto became a Russian operative. And they brought receipts. Worth the 45 minute video. American MSM could NEVER report this.

"Instead of jumping into ill-thought-out 'deals,' U.S. allies need a serious strategy of derisking their economic and other relations with the United States."

I do not support Ford, but the content of the advert I think is correct. I think it likely came from the Democrats or Regan Republicans not Ford. Ford is just a proxy. There is much more going on here...

A tweet from BrooklynDad_Defiant! says: “No words. If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research... I have nothing left to say to you.” The image shows an illustration of a bald child in a hospital gown, holding an IV pole and looking into an opulent golden ballroom filled with formally dressed adults.

A close ally does not sit quiet while a very real enemy from within destroys another ally.
